I bought a AOC 17in USB3 monitor. I tried to install the driver:
http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu follwing this instruction: How to install DisplayLink software on legacy Ubuntu versions – DisplayLink Support
However, it looks there might be an error with kernel that I should re-build the kernel or some. Yet, which element should I check for the kernel if it is due to the kernel.
I’d appreciate if anyone can share an insight!
Thanks

The error says this:
